Rockin Tyler


Tyler is rocking the PCICU (pediatric cardiology ICU) and rockin away in Grammy McMillan's arms. It is so great that Danny's mom could come out this week. It has given me some time to be with Scott who has missed and needed his mom and dad after a 2 week absence and get the house in order before Tyler comes home. We now have clean carpets and now in my closet I have clothes that fit me instead of maternity clothes. Tyler does great when he is rocked and held and as soon as you put him down gets fussy. Scott, Danny, I and especially Tyler are so grateful to have Grammy's help!! He is off his methadone even though they think he might still have some drug withdrawal, up to 12 cc/hr of milk, on room air oxygen levels and doing great! They are planning on moving him to the transitional ICU soon and if all goes well will probably be home in about 1 week. We will be celebrating having him here for 1 month. He has been such a joy to us and such a little hero to so many. It is amazing how many people have told us that their entire congregation has been praying and thinking of him. We are so grateful for everyone's help...the Bogners, Heather O., Mardee C., Grandma & Grandpa, Elena P. for babysitting Scott, Robin P. for the great cookies, the Hiltons for great chili, Heather and Jason for their visits and heart walk efforts and everyone who has been supporting and praying for us and our family! We couldn't have done it without you!.

You sound much more energetic and just...better now. That is so great! That is really cool to hear that multiple whole congregations were praying for you. It makes me feel so grateful for Christ and the kind of people his followers are.

The news about Tyler is so awesome! I recently returned from Nebraska and Illinois, and told my relatives about your strong family. They are mentioning Tyler and blessing your family with tons of prayers. Thanks for your wonderful updates on Tyler. I can hear the joy in your hearts. Keep rockin' Tyler - I can barely wait to see this little miracle child.
